Also... reading through your days in nov/dec thread.... funny you guys didn’t notice until dec 10th you were still in nov! Haha!
Anyhow... Kate, I see you were wondering about a fasting app. I have the “zero” app... really simple to use!!
Plus... Melanie highland dancing? Wow!! Good for you0 -
Yeah I find fruits like mango or pineapple arent worth it!
Fst800 is 800 calories a day, lowish carb and good protein. Up to a max of 12 weeks, but I’m aiming for 3. Then move to a 5:2 approach, with 2 restricted days or week. Pretty much as a maintainance approach.

Hi all!
Hope you feel better, @KateNkognito ugh... No fun at all. Sending hugs.
@melaniecheeks YES, we love Lindt 95% in this house! I recently got a big box of bars on sale at my local BJ's Warehouse. I know you are across the pond, but for anyone in the States who is reading.
@mamainthekitchen hope you are having a good day and off to a good week.
See you all soon!0 -
I went to school this morning, but came home halfway through the day. Haven't had anything to eat in 27 hours, though. So, that's something, isn't it?
I hope everyone is having a great week! Stay healthy!0 -
Happy Wednesday!
All good here. Have a nice one all. 0 -
So, it was a rough way to do it, but I lost 4 pounds. I am feeling much better today. I hope everyone is doing well! Stay healthy!2

Hi all!
Oooh @KateNkognito that is rough, but glad you are feeling better!
Things are good here. Work is quiet but that's okay.
Sticking to my WOE and going with the flow. Looking forward to when this Pandemic is more under wraps and I am vaccinated sigh...
Have a good day and see you soon.1 -
Kate, that’s rough! Really hope you’re on the mend now.... scary getting sick nowadays!!
Yesterday was my first fail after being back on track! Started out great, but by 2 pm I knew I hopped on that ‘other train’ going downhill fast!!! Decided to log as best I could guesstimate with the food.... but I didn’t do too badly above my 1200 .... so, looking back at my week & a half of logging and staying slightly under 1200.... I think I needed a good Feed Day! I don’t want my system to think I’m in starvation mode! Today I’m going to do a true fast! Started with 3 boiled eggs now and I’ll have a light dinner and bed early!
Happy Thursday everyone! Glad your day is quiet Meghan! Have a good one 1 -
@Meghan509 I hope your week is going well! I think we can kiss "normal" goodbye, but hopefully we can have something that allows a bit more variety. I love my family and all, but I need a vacation!
@mamainthekitchen Sometimes you just need a day off fasting. The book I read this summer makes a very good case for feed days. I don't agree with everything the author does, but her science seems pretty solid.
Have a great Friday! I am so excited that I get a three day weekend! We haven't had one all school year. It is weird. And exhausting. Stay healthy, people!0 -
Hey, am I the only one that is a little worried about @orlcam ? He hasn't been on here since summer, last I saw.1
-
Morning!!!! I’m wearing a halo!! Ha!
First day official fast of 500 is done and dusted! Exactly 500! No cheating! Felt good... probs cause I ate a little extra the day before. Today I’m waiting until noon to eat. So far I’m liking being back in the swing of things!
Yes.... I checked, Orlcam hasn’t checked in in 7months.... but then neither did I really, but him being the original founder, yes hope all is well with him.1 -
Happy Friday!
Sounds like everybody is upbeat today and I like it!
Good news from here is that we found out my family member does not have cancer. Thank God.
Plugging along and watching the clock! 5 o'clock yet?! We are open on Monday for MLK day but that's okay. Been quiet here!
YES, I would love to know how @orlcam is doing. Thinking of him and his family.
Hope you have a great weekend. See you all soon.2 -
That is AWESOME news @Meghan509 ! Today is a great day to have a great day!
@mamainthekitchen FANTASTIC job! It is always nice to get back to fasting.
I am going to sleep for a day, clean for a day, than spend the last day catching up on school work. I live such a wild life!1 -
Thanks ladies... so far I’m feeling quite positive and determined... although very aware that being determined to lose weight is sooooo much harder than maintaining! Ugh! That’s my true goal this time around!!
Meghan, great news for your family! Such relief isn’t it!! I’m sure you’ll enjoy your weekend!!!
Yesterday I ate when hungry and even had one glass of wine after dinner and still came in under 700 cals! Weird... but I’m sure my metabolism is changing and my stomach is shrinking etc. Today I’ll have a normal day. If I don’t have candy or wine I’m good to go!!! Clearly I indulged in both over 2020!!! I eat pretty good, so I know that’s my problem!!
Kate I hope your 3 day plan is a success!!! Especially the sleep portion!!

Hi Ladies,
Unfortunately our good news turned in to bad news, 24 hours later.
There was a miscommunication at the Doctor's office and they gave us the wrong news. The office called a bunch of times and then finally the doctor called last with the bad news. Supposedly they apologized but how do you do that to a patient and their family?? So mad and upsetting.
My family member will be meeting with a specialist this Wednesday so we will see what they say. Trying not to think the worst or jump to conclusions until we have a good set of doctors to speak to. Sigh...
Today is quiet at work. Not a holiday for us unfortunately, but still grateful to have a job and to be working remotely.
My choices and eating over the weekend was a little "meh". Could have been better. Just trying to take it one day or one week at a time and be kind to myself. Back on track today.
Hope you guys have a good day and a good week ahead. Speak to you soon.1 -
@Meghan509 I am so sorry! That's awful! Hopefully some answers will come on Wednesday.
I am kind of in a slump lately. I am not really losing or gaining. I seem to have misplaced my motivation. I think it is the time of year. I need some sunshine and blue skies. And a new job that doesn't wake me up in a panic at 3 in the morning. I love what I do, but I hate this particular job. Does that make sense? Off to do the things and take a nap. I hope everyone has a great week! Stay healthy!2 -
first off...... what devastating news Meghan!! the high & low of the given information.... that's really bad coming from the drs office, so sorry.
Well, yesterday was my Mom's 89th bday! no dinner celebration, but we did get a wee visit in to give some baking and flowers, then I celebrated with candy & wine at home later!! hahaha
Today is Monday, and Kate, what a better way to start another week by treating it as it is..... a new day, new week!! new start! Grab some fresh lemon and hot water and flush away the toxic thoughts (this is my trick of 2021) you'll feel better in no time!!
ham, eggs & avo for lunch today.... stuffed and now plan on light dinner but hoping for 2 fast days Tues & thurs this week!!
Have a good day everyone!! 1 -
Oh Meghan, hope you get better news on Wednesday.
It was a bit of a blue Monday here, annoying work stuff. But I remind myself that one of the things I can control in this crazy world is what I eat.2 -
Hi all,
Thank you again for your nice words.
Keeping this quick, but love Melanie's quote:
"I remind myself that one of the things I can control in this crazy world is what I eat."
Yes, this! Even with a pandemic, family health stuff, and all the crazy going on we have to be kind to ourselves and do what's best for well being.
Have a good day and see you all soon.1 -
@ melaniecheeks that’s powerful!!!! your quote should be pinned at the top in the banner!!
I’m going to write that in my own ‘reminders’ on my phone to pop up every time I check my phone!
Tuesday fast day is here!!!
Tea and then hot water & lemon!
May have to check in here later to make myself accountable!!!
Humming.... “remind myself that one of the things I CAN control in this crazy world is what I eat”.... again..... “1
